Clothes for Europe - revised (PIP)

Sorry to be a pain about this, I really don't want to stand out over there. I changed some things based on your suggestions yesterday. Here's what I have now. I'm also taking a long sleeve black dress and silver heels for dinners. And a light blue rain coat.

I plan on buying a few scarves while I'm there as well. Anything in this stick out as not working?

Re: Clothes for Europe - revised (PIP)

  • Looks much better. I would also recommend bringing a small container of laundry detergent in case you want to hand wash and rewear any of the items. I have a 1 oz container that I bring almost every time I travel for more than a few days. It can be a life saver if the weather is unpredictable and you want to travel light.
  • Looks good to me...is that all you are bringing? It looks A LOT better though!
  • Very cute! Have fun!

  • So cute! Have fun- are you going to blog about your trip?
  • I think that looks great.

  • That looks great, but for 60's and 70's I would also bring tights to wear under the skirts (just in case) and a few scarves.  The key for me was layering.  When we were in Rome in March, it was mid 60's and drizzly, but sunny at the same time...I had a short sleeved jacket and a light scarf at all times, with long pants, and throughout the day I was constantly adjusting, taking off the jacket, putting the scarf back on, etc.

    Do you have a small crossbody purse for daily use?  I bought one at Payless and it was perfect for me for sunglasses, a small bottle of water, cell phone, etc.  And I would tie my scarf around the top of it when I got too warm.

  • I agree about tights! They were nice to wear in the morning and as the day warmed up, I'd take them off and toss them in my purse.

     Can you mix and match those tops/bottoms?  I missed your original post and aren't sure how long you're going for, but for our recent trip, mixing and layering was key!

    eta: do you have acess to laundry?

  • Bring a travel iron!!  Not one hotel we stayed in had one.

    Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
  • I agree about the rights. They will help you blend in, as well (in France, at least. I've never been to Italy.)

  • I use a crossbody bag everyday, so it's already in there. Tights have been added as well. We do have access to laundry.

    Thank you so much for the help!
